There's an interesting article in the Patriot Ledger concerning Quincy Center's planned redevelopment, tentatively starting in 2013, and the correlation of the city wanting the MBTA's Quincy Center Station (especially garage area) to be a part of this reworking of the center...

I found this to be pretty comical:
"Harrington said the station does not have the pedestrian access needed to highlight the new public common that will be built in front of city hall as part of the downtown revitalization.
“When you leave a T station, it should be a pedestrian experience,” Harrington said. “When you get off the T stop at Harvard Square, you see Harvard Square.”"
Even with whatever potential changes the center's redevelopment could bring, I can't imagine it will change things so much that the area surrounding the station will be comparable to Harvard Square or Government Center, etc. Maybe it will open-up the area enough to let people see the newer Lowe's as soon as they exit the station. :-p
